Who Needs Stores?

Really. Who needs stores?? We can just get everything we need from a series of vending machines! It works great for soda and snacks. And coffee. And in Japan and Europe you can get beer from vending machines on the street. Some medical pot place in California is even going to have a LEGAL pot vending machine! Now how about that? If I can but pot from a vending machine why cant I just buy everything from a vending machine?

Now I know what you are thinking. But Lazy, what if I want something like live bait!

WAY ahead of you here. I got your live bait needs covered.

This is a REAL vending machine. No playing with Photoshop here. I took this photo myself. This LIVE BAIT vending machine is at the Bass Pro Shops in Broward County. You can get worms, live minnows, or live shiners.

You can click the photo to view the full size image, but you should just be aware it is a 700k file. But the resolution is high enough that you can read the selections.

So how about that? A live bait vending machine! I would have never thought of this. Well I may have thought of this, but I would have written it off as a crazy idea. But here it is!

Of coouse there is a flaw here. I can only buy baits good for fresh water fishing. What I need is a vending machine where I can buy frozen baits (squid, shrimp, sardines, pre rigged ballyhoo, and pilchards or silver siders) and live shrimp. And chum blocks. And what the hell, gallon jugs of menhaden oil.

Next to that there needs to be a beer vending machine.

And next to that an ice vending machine.

That would rule.
